Ramadan events on campus continue without interruption, featuring different topics and guests. As part of these events, Asst. Prof. Dr. İzzet Gülaçar from Faculty of Theology analyzed Sezai Karakoç's book “Samanyolunda Ziyafet: Oruç Yazıları” and discussed it with students on February 28, 2026.
As part of the events, talks and fun competitions were held at the Ahi Evran Diyanet Youth Center between March 2 and 5, 2026. Dean of Faculty of Theology Prof. Dr. Mehmet Murat Karakaya gave a talk titled “Religion and Philosophy,” while Prof. Dr. Refik Balay from Faculty of Education gave a presentation to students as part of the “Where Are Those Old Ramadans” during the same week. In addition to the talks, a competition called “Secret Mission” was organized at the center for students to have fun, creating areas where students could enjoy themselves.
Ramadan festivities have expanded beyond the Ahi Evran Diyanet Youth Center, reaching the Fütüvvet Hall at the University Central Library. As part of this outreach, a "Faculty Day" event was held from March 3–5, 2026, featuring a series of insightful academic lectures. The program included a presentation titled "Soil, Gratitude, and Abundance" by Prof. Dr. Rüştü Hatipoğlu of the Faculty of Agriculture, followed by Dr. Selim Biçen from the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, who discussed "Economic Diseases of the Modern Age." Closing the series, Prof. Dr. Levent Urtekin of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture delivered a talk on "Islam and Science."
The Ramadan events, which have seen high student turnout, serve as a bridge for both social and cultural growth while offering a spiritual sanctuary for the students' inner worlds. Through these unique programs, students are able to experience the essence of Ramadan to the fullest, while the integrated scientific seminars provide a significant boost to their academic journeys. Given that Ramadan is a special month that fosters sharing and solidarity, these activities cultivate a strong sense of unity and warm social bonds among the student body. Furthermore, the combination of intellectual talks and cultural activities helps students find psychological relief, effectively allowing them to alleviate exam-related stress and anxiety.
